Over a year ago, when the Imnaha pack was the only breeding wolf pair in the state Oregon put out a kill order for half the pack, including the alpha male. While the hunters were out chasing these wolves down, Cascadia quickly developed a lawsuit and recruited partners to save Oregon’s first pack of wolves. The same day we filed the suit, the Oregon Court of Appeals issued an emergency stay, ordering the state’s hunters out of the woods. Oregon has been prevented from killing wolves ever since.
During this respite for Oregon’s wolves, Cascadia and our partners have been engaged in extensive settlement negotiations with the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife in order to get the state back in line with the original intention and spirit of our wolf plan. Since the filing of this suit, the Imnaha pack gave birth to Journey, or OR-7, the famous Californian wolf, and the state now has five breeding pairs and over 60 wolves. These key predators are helping to bring Oregon’s wild ecosystems back in balance and are keeping Oregon’s beautiful wild places truly wild!
